DFGMC cal
‘Ships with a DFGMC
are required to conduct an intentional compass calibration
within 24 hours of conducting any special evolution
6 rules of DR
(a) Plot a DR position at least every hour on the
hour while in open ocean.
(b) Plot a DR position at every course change.
(c) Plot a DR position at every speed change.
(d) Plot a DR position when obtaining a fix or
running fix.
(e) Plot a DR position when obtaining a single line
of position.
(f) Label each fix with course, speed, and time. Draw
a new course line from each fix or running fix as soon as it has been determined and plotted on the chart. This is accomplished whether the ship is on track or not. The DR plot should cover at least the next two fix intervals; ECDIS-N generates this automatically but the display must be properly set up, see Appendix J.
